That 2.0 turbo has piqued my interest the most. I'm dying to know what it is. The V6 and v8 are forced induction (2GR, 2UR). The 2GR is stroked just as in the Evora GT4 race car, but boosted in this application. I have a feeling that we will get the boosted 2UR in the GS F (but in 540hp trim) 
Well they don't really compete with any of their models, so I don't think that will be an issue. You could also look at it from the position that a 40-50hp boost could be just an ECU swap away. They won't look second best from anyone's perspective.

The only one I like is the Espirt, because it kept the similar boxy shape it's always had. The Elise in my opinion is full of fail, as it hasn't kept ANY distinction and looks like your run of the mill sport coupe. The Elan as well has kept with it's boxy shape, so it gets a pass for an updated look. As for the Eterne, I guess it's a new model so I can't really judge it, but it does have an AM feel to it.

Incredible display of sexy vehicles. How they were able to fund so many new projects is beyond me or what any recent company has put forth.
First thing I thought about styling was a big steal from Lambo and Ferrari. Not bad things to copy at all. These styles are the styles lesser car companies could have been copying all this time and peddling for $25-35k (Celica, Supra, Eclipse, tC, etc). Now Lotus is onto it, although for much more $ no doubt.
Lotus = gamechanger
